People are tourists in their own lives, marching around like zombies with the yoke of social media slung around their necks like a camera strap. They obsessively record everything as if they have to in order to prove it actually happened. “If no one knows I did this/saw this/said this, then what’s the point?”

Seems to me people people used to live their lives; they created, invented, explored, loved, labored… Now in modern society we surrender our dreams and accomplishments to others, or we dramatize the mundane as if reality were a show and we’re angling for the lead.

God strengthen us not just to exist but live honestly and honorably.
